Patent number: 11836292Abstract: Techniques are described for automated musical-score-referenced evaluation of haptic-based rhythmic performance. An audiovisual representation of real-time progress through a musical score is output to a user. The output corresponds to progress through a sequence of score-notated rhythm (SNR) events at a tempo. During the outputting, haptic performance (HP) events are received from a user via a haptic interface as the user's rhythmic performance of the SNR events at the tempo. Automated techniques evaluate the user's performance to determine a rhythmic compatibility between the received HP events and evaluation data for the SNR events. Visual feedback is provided to the user to graphically map the evaluated performance to the SNR events on the musical score.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Music App Inc.Inventors: Sunny Sungeun Choi, Meghan Michele Kane, Frits van Laarhoven

The sound event is entered into the project when the selection is released. The user inputs the gesture using a pointing device such as a mouse, stylus with a touch screen, or finger on a touch screen. Stylus dimensions mapped to sound event parameters may include, horizontal and vertical stylus tip positions, vertical and horizontal tilt of the stylus, and stylus tip pressure. Sound event parameters controlled by the gestures may include diatonic pitch, chromatic inflection, and duration.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Avid Technology, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Plazak, Sam Butler
